US EditionTrump says latest release of Epstein files ‘absolves’ him
Trump plans legal action against Michael Wolff and possibly Epstein’s estate after DOJ release shows over 3,000 references linking Trump to Epstein files.
- On Friday, January 30, 2026, the Department of Justice released over 3.5 million Epstein pages, and President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One the documents `absolve` him while pledging to `certainly` sue Michael Wolff and possibly the Epstein estate.
- In November last year, President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, leading to a partial December 19, 2025, release and the DOJ's full disclosure on Friday.
- Documents include communications in which Wolff told Epstein he could `help finish` Trump and called Epstein the `bullet` that might harm his campaign.
- Among the documents were unverified tips and allegations, including a child sex-abuse tip against President Donald Trump that was forwarded to the FBI; the DOJ warned the tranche may include fake material.
- Given Wolff's contested reporting record, Trump has not been formally accused or charged in connection with Epstein and denies wrongdoing, according to statements 33 and 38.
